2 New Dyson Fans: Tower and Pedestal Air Multipliers

Last October, James Dyson unveiled his new Air Multiplier technology in the form of 2 bladeless desk fans that takes advantage of the high speed motors developed for Dyson vacuums. This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mr. Dyson so he could demonstrate the newest additions to the Air Multiplier family: AM02 Tower Fan & AM03 Pedestal Fan.

An engineer at his core, James Dyson was excited to explain the technology behind the air multipliers and focus on the key benefits of the designs:

• quieter than a traditional fan
• no "buffetting" of air — the air flow is smooth and consistent
• safer (no exposed blades, center of gravity in the base makes toppling over a non-issue)
• easy to clean (very popular with hospitals)

Designed to circulate air in larger spaces — think large open rooms and offices — the two new models pack a powerful punch in a sleek form. Stronger than last year's table models, both new fans also come with a small and lightweight remote control that is magnetized to easily store on the fan itself.

The AM02 Tower Fanmeasures less than three feet tall and is barely a foot wide — it's tall and narrow form make it ideal for a discreet corner.

The strongest Air Multiplier (yet), the AM03 Pedestal Fan, is also the only fan that telescopes with a constant rate Tensator spring making adjustments to height and angle easy.

Both new air multipliers have a MSRP of $449.99 and you can sign up to be notified when they are ready to ship.

Will ceiling fans be in Dyson's future? He wouldn't say…
